The Compression Calf Sleeve uses Orca’s most advanced combination of active and graduated compression fabrics and ergonomic panel construction technology. The Graduated Compression Zone is a unique panel of double thickness Perform Killaskn Kompress fabric, which has a higher tensile construction that is scientifically proven to provide optimum levels of graduated compression. This panel assists pre and post activity rest and recovery by circulating blood flow back towards the heart from the lower legs. Killaskn Kompress is then used in contoured panels to support the calf muscle active compression during exercise.The Calf Sleeve is moisture wicking, has UPF50+ protection from the elements and reflective logos for low light visibility.

About the Orca brand

Whilst working as a swim coach, and from his first hand experience in competing in triathlon, Scott Unsworth realised that the wetsuits used at the time were completely inadequate for swimming.
In 1992 Scott started up a company called Performance Speedsuits Ltd, based out of his parent's house in Auckland, New Zealand. He began to develop his "Speedsuits", which featured greater flexibility and buoyancy than other existing wetsuits. The business started with Scott selling his Speedsuits from the back of his car at swim meets and triathlon events. The Speedsuits quickly gained a following amongst athletes and the business started to grow. Scott was taking his first steps towards introducing what would become Orca, to the world. A young New Zealand triathlete named Hamish Carter became one of the first athletes to sign up with the company that is now Orca. Over the next 13 years Hamish Carter went on to become one of the best known triathletes in the world - culminating in a gold medal at the 2004 Olympics in Athens.

An overall superb compression product with only one problem;
The lower Seem is to tight. Hard to get off over the heel.
Had to cut it up somewhat. Otherwise excellent!

Ok but difficult to get off!
I found these work well for me. Followed the fit chart and they are nice and snug on my calves and perform well - don't fall down and are comfortable both during and post run and I'm sure help to reduce muscle fatigue and aid recovery.
My only complaint is that the bottom of the sleeve is so tight. There is no need for this at all, but because the bottom of the sleeve ends in a hem (folded over and stitched) it's tighter than the sleeve itself. This makes it really difficult to get off because this opening has to slide over your heel (obviously!). Very frustrating and uncomfortable if you have sore Achilies at the end of a run!!! It would have been better if the ends were cuffs rather than hems. Anyway, think I'm going to cut the hem off mine and so what if they fray.

Too tight
I actually returned my order as the size Medium I bought after consulting the guide was hopelessly too small. I struggled to get it over my foot and then found it impossible to get it passed the bottom of my calve. I have a size 4 foot, but a 40cm calve and decided against going for the Large as I expected that would also not fit.
It is still a good quality product and value for money compared to similar products. You just need slim calves.
